Vendor’S Comments: - “On the water the house is always light, airy and inviting. Facing south you can relax and enjoy the sunshine and tranquil waters of the lagoon from the front and the back. The level flow of the ground floor is ideal for family life and for parties, we have our own reception for ‘grown up’ time or entertaining whilst the top floor is perfect for children as there’s a room for an au pair and now they are older they have privacy and space to invite their friends over. Friends and family can come by boat, train, bus or car to enjoy our city and its famous festivals. If they have a car there’s parking for them, but we usually walk to the restaurants looking over the harbour or take a cab to the Lanes- and return to peace and quiet.
